                                                                                A Not So Lonely Life

Over the years, I've seen numerous comments about how writers sequester themselves away and lead a lonely existence honing their craft. I think all writers have their favorite place and environment in which to work with a sense of privacy that encourages and supports their creativity. Although I've had several different places, including a living room easy chair with our cat snuggled beside me, mine is my home office. 

Arriving at this place has taken me through memorable growing up, family, and career events and meeting many interesting people. These all have influenced me in various ways as to sources and ideas that became stories.

My road to writing is similar to others. We all draw on our life experiences and observations of society and the world. What is really interesting is how many different stories, styles, forms, and perspectives we create to arrive at some meaningful result to which our audiences relate and respond. Making those connections is gratifying and I think is the driving force as to why we write.

I would like to use my blog journal as an opportunity to share some insights on books and have interactive discussions with others and their experiences and my perspective that writing may be a not so lonely life

The Strength of Burton Blake's Character

​Burton Blake is a likeable young man. As a generous and altruistic person, he becomes a Rhodes Scholar. In keeping with his desire and personal standards to help others and to learn about different cultures, he is committed to working with impoverished people in other countries. He does not consider himself privileged. His unselfish intent is to help people with whom he works to improve the conditions of their lives.
 
My research for the book placed Burton in South Africa where he works as a Red Cross volunteer. He is reluctant to leave and resentful at being called home to replace his deceased father at the head of a company in which he initially has no interest and does not share his sense of ethics and morality learned from his mother and stepfather, as well as other childhood influences. These differences are the core conflict of his story.

He is definitely one of the characters that we should look up to. Not only is he a person of great moral principle, but he is always very well mannered. I know people who do not think that this is true, but it is. There are people who are like him, and I hope that we can keep on providing people like him. I want my son to grow up like him, he is just a great example of a good man.
